Who said "What we tolerate... will dominate." ...
I've got a correspondent that keeps using that phrase in his emails. He's referring to the Muslim thing. It's his mantra about a lot of things, tho.... gays, drugs.. whatever.

I know he's not bright enough to put that many words together, so he must have gotten it somewhere.

Google was no help. I found one use of that phrase by a "real estate professional/life coach/minister" named Paul Davis, but this guy doesn't
read much. He must have heard it.

Any ideas.

1. Well, it's incredibly stupid. And not true.
Tolerance is the basis of America. Just tell him that, and if he doesn't like it, laugh at him.

4. Most of America tolerates
bullying people into accepting our ways, so I guess he's right.

5. So, does that mean if we become intolerant of idiots there will soon be fewer of them?
Wish I could help you on the quote but its a new one to me.
